"Business schools make a fortune forcing their
students to take in a HUGE amount of information. The majority of it is
theoretical. The majority of that is useless."

Spiritual versus Material are not the
choices. Everything about this physical manifestational experience is
spiritual. It is all the end product of spirit. You have nothing to prove. Be
the spiritual you and create like a physical fiend. --- Abraham

Every time you want something and achieve vibrational harmony with it and
allow it to come to you, you not only gain the satisfaction of having
accomplished your desire, you also gain a whole new perspective from which to
desire. --- Abraham
Excerpted from the
workshop in San Francisco , CA
Most people don't think that new-born children could be the Creator of their
own reality, because they are not even talking yet. But the Universe is not
responding to your language anyway. The Universe is responding to your
vibration, and your vibration is about the way you feel. --- Abraham
Excerpted from the
workshop in Seattle , WA
If there is something that you have to do, resist the temptation to do it
under duress. Ask yourself, "What's the worst thing that would happen if I
didn't do this?" And if you can get away with not doing it at all, don't
do it. And then imagine what would it feel like to have this done. Spend a day
or two, if you can, just 15 minutes here, 5 minutes here, 2 minutes here, here
and here, imagining it completed in a way that pleases you! And then, the next
time you decide that you're going to take action about it, the action is going
to be a whole lot easier. --- Abraham
Excerpted from the
workshop in Phoenix , AZ
The beasts that came before you, who banged around on this planet, denoted
at cellular conscious and unconscious levels, their preferences. And that is
how the atmosphere was prepared for you. They did not write one thing on their
"things to do today" pads. They just be'd and perceived and concluded
and asked vibrationally. And the Universe expanded as a result of their
willingness to have exposure to the contrast. And you are not different from
them. You have no greater responsibility than they did. The contrast produces the
desire within you, and the Universe expands as a result of it. The only
question is, the question that we want so much to answer is, are you letting it
in? Are you letting yourself experience the benefit of your precious focus and
your vast experience in the here and now? You'll never get it done. You cannot
get it wrong. So don't you think it's time for you to lighten up and start
having more fun with all of this, and accept that you are Eternal Beings? And
since you are Eternal Beings, then there's no point in rushing, because there's
never going to be a time when you don't exist. --- Abraham
Excerpted from the
workshop in Boston , MA
You are the creator of your own life experience, and as the creator of your
experience, it is important to understand that it is not by virtue of your
action, not by virtue of your doing—it is not even by virtue of what you are
saying—that you are creating. You are creating by virtue of the thought that
you are offering. You cannot speak or offer action without thought-vibration occurring at the same time; however, you are often offering a thought-vibration without offering words or action. Children or babies learn to mimic the vibration of the adults who surround them long before they learn to mimic their words.

Other's Opinion Are Less Important Than My Personal Guidance System... You did not intend to use the opinions of your parents
to measure against your beliefs, desires, or actions in order to determine the
appropriateness of them. Instead, you knew (and still remembered, long after
you were born) that it was the relationship between the opinion (or knowledge)
of the Source within you and your current thoughts, in any moment, that would
offer you perfect guidance in the form of emotions. You did not intend to
replace your Emotional Guidance System with the opinions of your parents even
if they were in harmony with their Emotional Guidance System in the moment of
their trying to guide you. It was much more important to you to recognize the
existence of your own Guidance System, and to utilize it, than to be deemed
correct by, or to find approval from, others. --- Abraham

Assembles All Cooperative Relationships # 553
All the resources you will ever want or need are at your fingertips. All you
have to do is identify what you want to do with it, and then practice the feeling-place
of what it will feel like when that happens. There is nothing you cannot be or
do or have. You are blessed Beings; you have come forth into this physical
environment to create. There is nothing holding you back, other than your own
contradictory thought. And your emotion tells you you're doing that. Life is
supposed to be fun—it is supposed to feel good! You are powerful Creators and
right on schedule. Savor more; fix less. Laugh more; cry less. Anticipate
positively more; anticipate negatively less. Nothing is more important than
that you feel good. Just practice that and watch what happens. There is great
love here for you. We are complete. --- Abraham

Daily Feng Shui Tip
from Astrology.com
Today's 'Be Late for
Something Day' energies will probably describe this first day of school for
many parents who have trouble getting the kids out the door in a timely and
peaceful manner. Therefore, in order not to be late for anything, getting
prepped for today might take a bit of planning. That means kids should start
getting into some sort of routine a few weeks before school officially begins.
Waiting until the final twenty-four hours before the alarm goes off probably
won't work. So a few weeks before school starts, start waking your student a
bit closer to the time that they will eventually be rising on a daily basis. If
getting your wunderkind to bed earlier poses a problem you might want to use a
blend of lavender and chamomile essential oils to calm the child and help them
stay quiet and content. Put ten drops of the two oils in a spray bottle and
fill with distilled or spring water. Spray around the sleeping space at least
twenty minutes before bedtime and you'll be giving the Sandman a huge helping
hand. Whatever you do, make sure that all electronics and technology are turned
off at bedtime. The electromagnetic frequencies from appliances, computers and
televisions can impact the sleeping student in a disruptive way, so keeping
stimulation to a minimum before bed will make for a rested and ready student in
the morning!

Boats
Depending
on your experience with them, boats can represent riches, travel, isolation,
danger, romance, or complete and utter frustration. Rowboats and canoes are often
found on fairly placid lakes and streams. In dreams, they may be way out of
context on the high seas, therefore implying a kind of broken peace. Normally,
the setting of the boat says much about its symbolic meaning. Different types
of boats may vary in meaning, but possible options include isolation, danger,
escape, and romance.
Sailboats often appear
in similar environs as rowboats, but tend to mean either riches or frustration:
sailboats can be very affluent and romantic to the dreamer, however, being dead
in the water for lack of wind is another option.
Power boats often show
a sense of power, control, wealth, competition, or travel. Danger is not often
a problem, except in cases of failed motors.
Sinking boats can
reveal a fear of water, drowning, or incompetence. More often, they are a
metaphor for feelings about a particular aspect of life. To determine this,
look at who is on the boat or conspicuously absent from it. Also, see if the
reason it is sinking, which may seem nonsensical, is available in the dream.
Is the boat one that
you recognize? Is the general feeling one of happiness and leisure or one of
fear and anxiety?
Eagle
The
eagle is an important Native American symbol, as well as having a place in the ancient
literature of Greeks and Hebrews. All these images exist in our common-day lore
on roughly equal terms.
The eagle is a symbol
of great wisdom and vision in the lore of Navajo and Crow Native American
legend. As such, it is often associated as a sacred emblem that sets the
dreamer apart for special uses by the Great Spirit.
In Hebrew and Greek
literature, the eagle is a symbol of power. Given its great size and strength,
eagles were able to remove even small livestock from the herds. This gave the eagle
a persona of majesty, power, and fear. To dream of the eagle is to be
spiritually validated as a person of great wisdom and insight concerning both
this world and the spiritual realities beyond the comprehension of this world.
Bridges
Bridges
are interesting symbols in relationships. We often speak of crossing and
burning bridges as representations of the opportunities and challenges of life.
Does the bridge cost
anything to cross?
Is it a secure or
precarious bridge to cross?
Is there a known
destination, or is it a bridge to an uncertain future? Do you have particular
feelings about yourself as you cross or upon completion of crossing the bridge?
Your answers to these
questions may reveal a transition you perceive in your life and your feelings
about it.
The act of building a
bridge is another way to encounter bridges in dreams. (Are you building the
bridge to create an opportunity or to escape from trouble?)
The destruction of a
bridge is yet another bridge encounter. (What are you becoming separated from
and how do you feel about that separation? Are you participating in the bridge
destruction or being victimized by it?)
Shared Dreams
There
are two kinds of dreams that fall into this category: mutual and concurrent. In
each case, two or more people dream of similar characters and activities. What
differentiates them are the means by which the dreams occur. In mutual
dreaming, the dreamers intentionally develop a desire to experience a shared
dream through incubation. However, in concurrent dreams, the dreamers had no
idea their content would be similar going into the night's rest.
Mutual dreaming is an
intentional movement toward influencing dream content. This discipline allows
dreamers to design psychic meeting grounds for subconscious awareness of one
another. This can be a seedbed for finding new facets in a relationship, from
the ordinary to the sensual.
It is often quite
interesting to get together with your mutual dreamer friend(s) and compare
dreams. The best way to do this is for both or all of you to write down what
you dreamt about the subject in question, then share the essays.
Concurrent dreams are
often discovered by chance. You may be telling a friend about a dream you had,
using vivid details, when all of a sudden she reveals that she had the same
exact dream. This is a rare and mysterious occasion indeed!
Courtyard
For
some reason, many people have buildings with courtyards or atriums in their
dreams. This may just be so much scenery, as we tend to like such things architecturally.
Often times, these dreams reflect a desire to return to a more renewing or
living place.
The courtyard can also
be a womb image. As such, it can represent you getting back to your life
source. It may be a sense on your part of mother power coming into the
situation that has brought you to the courtyard. In these cases, you may be
looking at the courtyard as a place of nurture or interference.
Saints or Sacred Figures
Saints
and other sacred human figures in our dreams often appear as heralds of
benevolence or as the morality police. While many times these are positive
dream experiences, the dreams can also leave a feeling that perhaps you are not
doing all you can to be an agent of good in the world. The dream may be
inspiration to involve yourself in a particular cause through hands-on work or
financial donations.
The moral side of the
dream is often a judgment on current lifestyle choices. When your psyche is in
conflict between the desires of the id and the restraint of the superego, the
superego can marshal symbols of judgment to strengthen its position. Often
these will arrive under very peculiar circumstances. A dream of sexual desire
may suddenly find the object of its desire cloaked in the garb of a priest,
pastor, rabbi, policeman, or a particularly strict third-grade teacher you may
have had.
If a saintly figure in
your dream suddenly turns into a demon of some sort, or begins to resonate
emotions that are non-traditional from such a figure, perhaps it is a sign that
you need to check your morals concerning a situation in waking life.
Does the saintly figure
in your dream appear as a helper or emotional benefactor, or does the character
seem to be coming down on you as a law-enforcing authority figure?
Water / Flood
Water
is central to the human story. Whether it is the deep, fresh lake, the river
that brings life, or the ocean that must claim her dead, water is both friend
and enemy at once. When dreams contain this powerful image in any of its forms,
understanding the role of the water is essential.
Water is a strong
symbol in dreams because so often it is the exclamation point of the feelings
in the dream. If other objects in a dream are relaxing, a bubbling brook
through a meadow is more relaxing. If some symbols generate feelings of fear or
anxiety, the tumultuous ocean creates the most anxiety. Water has symbolic,
archetypal meaning in that it either provides life, or harbors mystery and
danger. This is a reflection of our human experiences with water.
In early human history,
the hunter-gatherers quickly learned that water was the central ingredient of
life. (We die of thirst much more quickly than we starve.) More importantly, to
know where the water was meant knowing where the food was.
However, as commerce
expanded water became a necessary evil that harbored unknown dangers. Water
travel was dangerous and uncertain as sea creatures, storms, and rough seas
claimed numerous voyagers. Polluted water affected livestock and spread
disease.
To emphasize the
positive, water is often a symbol of new life, refreshment, and vigor. Water in
manageable amounts or controlled settings almost always conveys this sentiment
to the dreamer. Controlled water is the key.
If a dream contains a
lake, is the entire shoreline visible and likely attainable?
If a river or creek is
dreamed of, is it within its banks and apparently traversable by usual means?
These are all examples of controlled water.
Water presented in this
way is often indicative of renewal. For example, while traveling and growing
weary, the dreamer suddenly happens upon a creek.
Refreshment for the
journey is close at hand. Perhaps a dreamer is out on a boat, moving over the
water gently. One should anticipate a season of respite or sabbatical in life,
or perhaps create an opportunity such as this intentionally.
Uncontrolled water will
often create a sense of unease for a dreamer. Raging rivers, rapids, and lakes
without borders often reflect being out of control of one's circumstances.
Still deep water, while sometimes refreshing, may also create unease. This is
because of the murkiness or uncertainty of what lies below the surface.
One exception to the
generalities listed above is water faucets. In a dream, it is important to
recognize if the dreamer or another is controlling the faucet and whether this
is done to effect the comfort or discomfort of the dreamer. If the dreamer is
controlling the faucet ineffectively, the assumption may be made that the
dreamer feels out of control or unable to master what should be apparently
simple circumstances (or, what's worse, perhaps there is no water to be had).
If another controls the faucet, one may conclude that the dreamer feels his
circumstances, for good or ill, are dependent on the whimsy of another. This
whimsy may reflect either greater discomfort or comfort, whether it is an
unpredictable boss, lover, or other significant relationship.
Separation
Separation
can relate to abandonment, marriage, friendship, career, or geographic
upheaval. Many times, the subconscious impulses of personality are less mature
in their problem-solving than the conscious, waking self. The function of ego
is to filter these impulses so they do not get out into waking life. However,
since the ego is turned off in sleeping, the immaturity of the id will have us
walking away from our marriages, jobs, friendships, etc. at the drop of a hat.
Being separated is
different than being quarantined, abandoned, or quitting in that it is often
mutual. In dreams, other characters can be more cooperative, since it is our
subconscious that is controlling their actions.
Who or what were you
separated from in the dream, and did it seem like a permanent or temporary
condition?
Was the separation
easily decided, or was it gut-wrenching?
